“AIPARTHENOS | EVER-VIRGIN? Understanding the Orthodox Catholic Doctrine of the Perpetual Virginity of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Identity of James and the Brothers and Sisters of the... More > Lord” offers a comprehensive, scholarly, yet easy to read treatment of the issue of Mary’s perpetual virginity and of the identity of the “brothers and sisters” of Jesus.
Leaving no stone unturned, Pr Cleenewerck explores the three main positions (Epiphanian, Helvidian, Hieronymian), from an Epiphanian/Orthodox perspective. In doing so, he discusses the major arguments brought forth by apologists and scholars on all sides and concludes in favor of the historic belief of Mary’s perpetual virginity.
This book will be of particular interest to Evangelical Christians seeking to better understand the Orthodox Catholic position, as well as all Christians wishing to obtain a comprehensive reference on this still-controversial issue.< Less

Ethiopic Legends of Our Lady Mary the Perpetual Virgin and Her Mother Hanna (1922) translated by Sir. E.A. Wallis Budge
“Legends of Our Lady Mary the Perpetual Virgin and Her Mother Hanna... More > (1922),” contains very many gems, of both spiritual and mystical content that is sadly missing in Gentile (or, European) Christianity. It treats both background and culture of the Ethiopian [Black] VIRGIN MARYAM, the Mother of the Saviour, and her mother, HANNA as well. Such subjects of Early Christianity have been almost entirely lost, and sadly perverted in the Western, or Romanish [“Catholic”] Church. Some scholars even have dismissed the veracity its living testimony, basically for one reason: because it is Ethiopian, and that means and meant “Black ,” or “African.”
“The Legends of Our Lady Mary the Perpetual Virgin,” is a groundation for all of us, but especially, and most emphatically – for Daughters of Zion, whom we call Our Sisters, and like Our Lady, to be honoured as holy mothers in RASTAFARI.< Less

The theology and beliefs concerning the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord Jesus, have long been a contentious issue between Catholics and Protestants. The latter often maintain that "the... More > Catholic Mary" is a corruption of the true biblical Mary: the humble and lowly handmaiden. Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong shows how the "Catholic" and the "biblical" Mary are indeed one and the same. Tackling controversial topics such as Mary's Immaculate Conception, Assumption, and perpetual virginity, asking Mary to intercede, the Rosary, the flowery and seemingly excessive devotional language of the saints, and Mary as a distributor of God's grace and salvation (just as St. Paul and indeed all of us are intended to be), Armstrong provides biblical and rational support for all Catholic Marian beliefs and practices: making them accessible, understandable, and able to be espoused by all who accept the inspiration of the Bible.< Less
